The anterolateral ligament of the knee and the lateral meniscotibial ligament anatomical phantom versus constant structure within the anterolateral complex.

CONCLUSION: Our results show that there is no evidence for the existence of an ALL in human knee joints. It is represented either by the iliotibial tract or-most likely-by the anterior arm of the short head of the biceps femoris muscle. On the other hand, the lmtl was found to be a constantly present structure.
